Shemot 20:19-21

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁹ And they said unto Moshe, Thou speak with us, and we will hear; but let not Elohim speak with us, lest we die (see Bereshis 42:23).

²⁰ And Moshe said unto HaAm, Fear not: for HaElohim is come to test you, and that His fear may be upon your faces, that ye sin not.

²¹ And HaAm stood afar off, while Moshe drew near unto the thick cloud where HaElohim was.
